The United States White House released the national strategy of standards for key and emerging technologies on May 4. The national strategy identified eight technology sectors that will have a major economic impact in the near future.
Among the eight technologies that focus on artificial intelligence, network and communication technologies, biotechnology, semiconductors, and more, the list of distributed ledger technology (DLT) and digital identity infrastructure drew the most attention from the cryptocommunity.
DLT enables simultaneous access, record validation, and record updating through a networked database. Blockchain technology is based on DLT, making it possible for users to see changes and the people who made them, reducing the need to audit data, ensuring data reliability, and restricting access to only those who actually want it. they need.

The most prominent example of such collaboration and standards development includes the development of telecommunications and communications standards.

The national strategy suggests that the likes of DLT and digital infrastructure would have an increasing impact and be widely used in the economic sector. Some of the key areas where these technologies will be actively tested include automated and connected infrastructure such as smart communities and the Internet of Things (IoT). DLT can find great use especially in creating cybersecurity and privacy based features and services.
